JB,

My comments aren't meant to favor one product or the other. Personally, I think yours is great. I just think there is value in getting knowledge from whereever it may be available, and frankly Ragozzin has a lot to offer.

I've read some of your stuff, but via message boards you have to wade through a lot of unrelevant information, bickerings, etc. to get to the good stuff. Your recent article in Thoroughbred Daily News was very interesting and insightful.

I'll bet that over the years you have written enough stuff to fill an encyclopedia full of knowledge. I would suggest that you (or an associate of yours) start filtering some of the information that you write and archiving on your website in a more organized fashion. When someone asks about a particular horse and you analyze it and make several relevant explanatory points, pull out the sheet and the discussion, slap a heading onto it and post it in an "Encyclopedia of Sheet Knowledge" section of your website so in the future people can just go there to look at all kinds of patterns and analysis on such patterns. Over time that section of the website would be full of information and of tremendous value to newbies and veterans alike. Likewise, if you do audio seminars (i.e. before the Derby, etc.). Tape them and throw them in the "encyclopedia". Yes, seminars take up much more bandwidth, but the other stuff would not take much.

These are just thoughts and ideas. It's just difficult for someone to really wade through months and months of bulletin board messages and expect to learn how to use the sheets from that. It takes a bit more structure. The bulletin boards, however, do have a great place on the website--so use them to feed the encyclopedia.
